“Emerald’s carefree sense of fun is, ultimately, disarming” – The Independent
On February 25th Caro Emerald will be releasing ‘Tangled Up’, the first single from her long awaited second album ‘The Shocking Miss Emerald’. ‘Tangled Up’ will have its world premiere play on national radio in Caro’s native Holland on February 18th.
A hooky, hip-hop tango, ‘Tangled Up’ is stylish, classy and sassy pop - Caro’s trademark - and is a delicious appetiser for the new album. Where ‘Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor’ took its inspiration from the Hollywood cinema and the glitz and glamour of the jazz scene, ‘The Shocking Miss Emerald’ is inspired by the epicentre of style, romance, excitement and dangerous liaisons – Paris.
‘Tangled Up’ is written by Vince Degiorgio, David Schreurs and Guy Chambers, with production by Caro's steady production team of Schreurs and Jan van Wieringen, and features the renowned bandoneonist Carel Kraayenhof.
Smouldering, charismatic and with an appealingly aesthetic eye for presentation, Caro Emerald is a truly original pop star. ‘Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor’, so joyful and overflowing with retro-loveliness, sold more than 1.3 million copies across Europe, dominated the charts for 30 weeks in Holland, and in Britain spent nine weeks in the top 10 and was certified platinum. Caro performed on UK TV shows including Jools Holland’s Hootenanny, Strictly Come Dancing and BBC’s Children In Need and her music became a permanent fixture on the airwaves with Radio 2 adding all five singles to the A List and making the record Album Of The Week. Caro’s live performances included an astonishing set in London’s Hyde Park and at the Isle of Wight Festival and her sold out headline UK tour garnered rave reviews.
“Dutch sensation Caro channels the slinky, sexy vibe of jazz and salsa clubs in days gone by…” "A cross between Lily Allen and Jessica Rabbit this is sassy stuff. Don't miss out! Retro loveliness" - *****– Star magazine
Caro has also dominated the German music scene, and recently picked up the prestigious Golden Camera Award for ‘Best International Music Artist’, the ‘International Newcomer Award’ at the Echo Awards and was nominated for the Swiss Music Award ‘Best Breaking Act International’. More recently, America has discovered Caro and in January she played sold out shows in Los Angeles and New York to great acclaim. Her live performance is not to be missed - reviewing the show at The Roundhouse, The Times declared the atmosphere to be “part carnival, part high-school prom”, praising her “magnificent vocals” and concluding that “When she finally bounced off stage, punching the air, it felt like a whirlwind had hit North London.”
In March Caro will be in the UK for three shows. Her shows in Brighton (March 8th) and Bournemouth (March 9th) are completely sold out with just a few tickets left for her Royal Albert Hall debut on March 11th. “Britain has always been so extremely supportive! Coming back again is something I'm so looking forward to. It feels heart-warming and super exciting at the same time to play again for the UK crowd, especially in these legendary venues. The Royal Albert Hall is a dream come true, I still have to pinch myself when I come to think about it.”

Blueworld (UK) LLP brought to you by Absolute via Universal
Older, wiser, stronger….. Thirteen years on from the day they came together and Blue are on top form, possibly at their best. Accomplished singer songwriters, star performers and still very easy on the eye, the boys have stepped gracefully into manhood with charisma, style, charm and camaraderie. With just over a decade of experience, Blue know their game and how to play it well.
Lee Ryan, Antony Costa, Duncan James and Simon Webbe are one of the few boy bands to come out of the 90’s who can lay claim to a bond that’s as solid now as it was then. They’ve endured the ups and downs of critical acclaim, flown high at the top of the charts, bared their souls in the tabloids, made the mistakes we’ve all made and throughout it all their relationship has stayed firm and true.
A frisson of excitement is rippling through their camp as the now grown up Blue, are due to release their first studio album in over a decade. Building Bridges, taking a stand and never letting go….the boys are about to make things right again with their first single from the album, ‘Hurt Lovers’, due for release on 21st April and available for pre order on itunes from Thursday 14th March.
An epic ballad, that resonates with heart break, beautiful harmonies and a thematic melody, ‘Hurt Lovers’ leaves the listener in no doubt of this bands awesome vocal talent, accomplished production and a gloriously euphoric sense of moving on into a new era.
Blue are one of the most successful British acts of the last decade. The band have sold more than 15 million albums worldwide, with all three of the band’s previous studio albums having reached the #1 slot. Blue have also toured virtually every country in the world and performed live with the likes of Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder. They will be performing live at an almost sold out, exclusive 02 Shepherds Bush Empire gig on Friday 3rd May. Tickets available viawww.ticketmaster.com / www.officalblue.com
